Animate your SketchUp model by adding movement to any object. Keyframe Animation will move objects along a straight line, rotate them about any axis, or even change their size. You can move the camera too. Best of all, the animation you create can be exported to a movie, directly from SketchUp.

Main Features

Translations: Interpolate translations between key frame positions.

Rotations: Interpolate rotations about any axis, for any angle between 0 and 180 degrees.

Scaling: Interpolate changes in the size, for any positive scale factor. The scaling can be uniform, or there can be different scale factors for each axis.

Nested Animated Objects: Any group or component can be animated. If it is contained inside another group or component, it is translated/rotated relative to its parent. If the parent also moves, the combination of translations/rotations results in more complex types of motion.

Camera Animation: The camera can also be animated using the native camera interpolation that is built into SketchUp.

Transition Time: You can precisely control the amount of time it takes to transition from one key frame to another.

Delay Time: You can pause the animation, for a precise amount of time, after the transition to any key frame is complete.

Animate Layer Visibility: You can make objects appear and disappear by putting them on layers and adjusting the layer visibility property for the scenes.

Reorder Key Frames: It is easy to change the order of key frames, or put them in reverse order, or any other permutation. You can also insert or delete key frames anywhere in the sequence.

Export a Movie: There is a powerful feature that will generate all the intermediate scenes that are in between the key frames. These tweens, as they are called, can be exported to a movie, directly from SketchUp.
